La civiltà islamica

Summary

The video script outlines the origins and development of Islamic civilization. It begins with the Arab merchant Muhammad receiving the revelation of God's word in 610 AD in Mecca. Facing opposition, he flees to Medina in 622, where he converts the population to Islam. By 630, Muhammad returns to Mecca with an army, establishing it as Islam's holy city. After his death in 632, Muslims split into Sunnis, who support elected caliphs, and Shias, who prefer leadership from Muhammad's descendants. Despite these divisions, by the 7th and 8th centuries, the Muslims have conquered vast territories, creating a grand empire as depicted in the map.
